“Your Highness”: Funny-in-spurts stoner comedy co-stars the unfunny Danny McBride and mildly amusing James Franco as the Goofus and Gallant of medieval times. With Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel. (1:42; R for strong crude and sexual content, pervasive language, nudity, violence and some drug use) • •

“Mars Needs Moms”: A young boy (voice of Seth Green) gains a deeper appreciation for his mother after Martians come to Earth to take her away in this animated family feature. (1:28; PG for sci-fi action and peril)
